A quick mini getaway to this lovely charming Inn. The grounds were immaculate and well groomed. Loved the creative and welcoming potted displays of arched birch branches, pussywillow vines nestled with colorful spring flowers. A definite return for us.

This is truly a very lovely and special inn. Everything was clean and well kept, lawn and lawn games looked inviting, the shared reading spaces were peaceful. We just should’ve done our research beforehand, because we didn’t realize the restaurant was closed two of the three nights we were there. But we’re so happy we discovered this wonderful place!

Every aspect of the rooms and service had an extra level of thought behind them. The Nespresso machines were a nice surprise. The lobby had ice all the time so make iced coffees; they were great for on-the-go mornings. The toiletries and diffusers all used very pleasant essential oils that were calming and not intrusive.

We loved our stay at the Briar Barn Inn. It was a perfect stay for us and the out of town guests for our son's wedding at the Grove. The rooms were modern, spacious, clean and elegant . I loved all the gas fireplaces and beautifully decorated sitting rooms throughout the Inn. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. A simple , but delicious continental breakfast was perfect!
